In this Thursday Market Outsiders, Namaan and Jenny Rae analyze Walmart’s price hikes amid looming tariffs, noting an increase in U.S. sales and an e-commerce surge as signs of consumer strength. 

Jenny Rae then draws business acumen lessons from a rodeo, spotlighting Quanta Services, a $25B electrical contractor behind utility power lines, discovered via a sponsor flag. 

They explore how curiosity about everyday experiences - like rodeo sponsors - builds market insights, urging listeners to question headlines and connect real-world dots.
